Transmission methods for terrestrial UHDTV broadcasting have been actively studied in order to provide enhanced broadcasting service in many countries. Most of the countries are considering multi-carrier transmission methods based on OFDM and some of them have performed UHDTV experimental broadcasting by using the DVB-T2 standard with the adoption of an improved data compression technique. However, since single carrier transmission methods, which are known to be susceptible to multi-path fading, could remedy this defect by using the SC-FDE method where a frequency domain equalizer is utilized in the receiver, they may achieve a similar transmission performance with multi-carrier transmission methods. In consideration of these circumstances, we compare the transmission performances of two-type methods to provide a decision criterion on a suitable transmission method for UHDTV broadcasting.

Piezoelectric gyroscopes are the devices to measure angular rotational velocity of a system with respect to an inertial frame of reference means of the Coriolis principle. Most of current piezoelectric gyroscopes detect rotational velocity about a single axis of rotation. This paper describes development of a new dual axial gyroscope made out of the piezoelectric ceramic, PZT, which can overcome the limitation of the current single axial type. The validity of the new structure is checked through finite element analysis. Based on the design, an experimental sample of the sensor is fabricated and its performance is discussed in comparison with the theoretical expectation. The resutls show that the present gyroscope is capable of measuring the rotational velocity over two orthogonal axes simultaneously with good enough sensitivity and distinction between the two axial components of the rotation.

In this paper, we propose an enhanced algorithm for affine projection algorithms which have been proposed to speed up the convergence of the conventional NLMS algorithm. Since affine projection (AP) or pseudo AP algorithms are based on the delayed input vector and error vector, they are complicated and not suitable for applying methods developed for the LMS-type algorithms which are based on the scalar error signal. We devised a variable step size algorithm for pseudo AP using the fact that pseudo AP algorithms are updated using the scalar error and that the error signal is getting orthogonal to the input signal. We carried out a performance comparison of the proposed algorithm with other pseudo AP algorithms using a system identification model. It is shown that the proposed algorithm presents good convergence characteristics under both stationary and non-stationary environments despites its low complexity.

The Compact Tension (CT) type test was performed in order to evaluate the fracture toughness performance of glass fiber-reinforced laminated timber. Glass fiber textile and sheet Glass fiber reinforced plastic were used as reinforcement. The reinforced laminated timber was formed by inserting and laminating the reinforcement between laminated woods. Compact tension samples are produced under ASTM D5045. The sample length was determined by taking account of the end distance of 7D, and bolt holes (12 mm, 16 mm, 20 mm) had been made at the end of artificial notches in advance. The fracture toughness load of sheet fiberglass reinforced plastic reinforced laminated timber was increased 33 % in comparison to unreinforced laminated timber while the glass fiber textile reinforced laminated timber was increased 152 %. According to Double Cantilever Beam theory, the stress intensity factor was 1.08~1.38 for sheet glass fiber reinforced plastic reinforced laminated timber and 1.38~1.86 for glass fiber textile reinforced laminated timber, respectively. That was because, for the glass fiber textile reinforced laminated timber, the fiber array direction of glass fiber and laminated wood orthogonal to each other suppressed the split propagation in the wood.

As consumption of energy is increasing rapidly, energy saving is emphasized in nowadays. Thermal power plant occupies a large proportion in various type of power plant. Major causes of decreased power generation efficiency on thermal power stations is deposition of fly ash. Soot Blower is a facility to remove the ash which is deposited outside of tube by steam blowing on boiler. Residual stream which caused by lance tube in soot blower cannot be discharged steam effectively in lance tube causes reducing the thickness of lance tube. On the contrary, increasing discharge ratio of steam, lance tube cannot sustain proper pressure to remove ash on tube. This study suggests increasing discharge ratio of steam with proper pressure to remove ash on tube by optimization on shape of lance tube nozzle. To optimize shape of nozzle, discharge ratio and maximum blowing pressure on nozzle is selected as object functions. Diameter of nozzle, distance between nozzles, angle of nozzle and gap between nozzle is selected as design parameters. Then the design of experiment (DOE) with an orthogonal array is performed to analyze the effect of design parameters. And grey relational analysis and analysis of mean (ANOM) is performed to optimize shape of lance tube.

The rifling design problem has continuous-type shape variables and an integral number of riflings. In addition, it requires considerable time for analysis because its behavior should be described by a nonlinear finite element model (FEM). Therefore, this study presents an efficient design process for rifling based on a design of experiment (DOE) approach. First, Bose's orthogonal array is used to represent 25 runs for four design variables including three shape variables and one integer variable. Then, nonlinear FE analyses are performed. Next, to minimize the bullet resistance without affecting the bullet velocity and bullet rotational angle immediately before a bullet leaves the gun barrel, a what-if design is performed. In the proposed what-if design, a functional including the design objective and constraints is constructed and effect analysis is performed by using the functional. It is found that the new design obtained from the what-if design shows better results than the current one.

This paper proposes a hybrid architecture algorithm for fast computation of DCT and DFT via recursive factorization. Recursive factorization of DCT-II and DFT transform matrix leads to a similar architectural structure so that common architectural base may be used by simply adding a switching device. Linking between two transforms was derived based on matrix recursion formula. Hybrid acrchitectural design for DCT and DFT matrix decomposition were derived using the generation matrix and the trigonometric identities and relations. Data flow diagram for high-speed architecture of Cooley-Tukey type was drawn to accommodate DCT/DFT hybrid architecture. From this data flow diagram computational complexity is comparable to that of the fast DCT algorithms for moderate size of N. Further investigation is needed for multi-mode operation use of FFT architecture in other orthogonal transform computation.

A division-of-amplitude type photopolarimeter has been constructed for the analysis of the dynamic optical characteristics of liquid crystal panels, one of the essential components of liquid crystal displays. In this instrument an incoming light ray, whose state of polarization is to be determined, is divided into three rays of nearly same intensities and of identical polarization state by using NPBS'(non-polarizing beam splitters). Each of the three rays is further divided into two components of orthogonal polarization states by using a PBS(polarizing cube beamsplitter) or by using a combination of a quater wave plate followed by a PBS. The intensity of each ray is measured by using a photodiode to produce a set of six photo-signals, which in turn are converted into four Stokes parameters describing the state of polarization of the incoming ray. Performance test of the insrument shows that its time resolution is 80 $mutextrm{s}$, accuracy $\pm$0.3 degrees when the state of polarization of the incoming ray is representated on the Poincare sphere.

The minimum weight design for the simply-supported eccentrically stiffened plates subjected to combined loads is studied according to the stiffening configuration. The optimal programming is accomplished by formulating the design requirements in terms of a mathematical programming problem, and by using the gradient projection algorithm. The Huber type equilibrium equation is used as the governing equation for the overall buckling. The overall buckling of stiffened plates and the local buckling of the unstiffened plate between stiffeners and the stiffeners themselves are used as behavior constraints. Results of design examples for the orthogonally stiffening case compared with those of the other study support that the present study is feasible. Design examples for the symmetrically oblique stiffening case are presented and the results indicate that a significant improvement in design efficiency may be achieved through symmetrically oblique stiffening compared to the orthogonal stiffening under the combined loading condition.

The barrel cam, which is a type of cylindrical cam, has been widely used as a part of index drive units for automatic manufacturing machines. The axis of rotation of the barrel cam is orthogonal to the axis of rotation of the follower. The index drive rotates or dwells depending on the cam profile, while the cam rotates with a constant velocity. Continuous sliding contact between the barrel cam and the follower surfaces causes wearing of the adhesive between them. This study shows that the contact force between two sliding bodies is responsible for the wear of the barrel cam in the paper-cup-forming machine. This contact force is calculated by using the multibody dynamics model of the paper-cup-forming machine. The analytical result is validated by comparing it to the actual wear spots on the real product.
